H loves music and teaching, and her favorite part of teaching is sharing her love of music with others. H has performed at hundreds of weddings, receptions, and parties with various string quartets, as well as orchestral events and churches all across Texas. H has 20 years of experience teaching private violin, viola, cello, and piano, as well as 7 years teaching elementary music and orchestra for the public school system.

She obtained her Master of Arts degree from Dallas Baptist University in 2016. Practicing and learning the cello takes dedication- but it is a deeply gratifying commitment.Ĭindy holds two degrees and a teaching Certificate. Practicing is the most important part of improving any skill, of course, and this is much easier to do when you love the music you're working on! I want to build up healthy, solid technique in my students, but I encourage my students to find pieces they themselves are interested in. I use the Suzuki method for most beginner/intermediate students, though I often adapt and mix in other repertoire depending on what my student needs, and also what kind of music the student enjoys practicing. At the end of the day, technique should always serve the expression of the music! I strive to help my students feel more connected to the music they play, to play with more and more expression, no matter the difficulty level of the piece you're playing! I focus on building a great technical foundation in my students, and also in helping them to interpret every piece they play with their unique and individual voice. I've been playing cello for over 13 years and have been teaching for 7 years. I received my Bachelors in Cello Performance from the Eastman School of Music, and I'm currently finishing my Masters at the New England Conservatory.
